#REDIRECT Platonic love
Platonic love in its modern sense is an affectionate relationship into which the sexual element does not enter, especially in cases where one might easily assume otherwise. The term amor platonicus was coined as early as the 15th Century by Marsilio Ficino, as a synonym for "amor socraticus", referring to the affection between Socrates and his pupils. This type of love dictates a non-sexual relationship between an older member and younger member of the same gender. The English term dates back as far as Sir William Davenant's ''Platonic Lovers'' (1636). It is derived from the concept in Plato's ''Symposium (Plato)'', of the love of the idea of good which lies at the root of all virtue and truth. A simple example of platonic relationships is friendship between the opposite sexes. == Quotes == * "Platonic Love is a fool's name for the affection between a disability and a frost." ** Ambrose Bierce * "I am convinced, and always was, that Platonic love is Platonic nonsense." ** Samuel Richardson == See also == *Asexuality *Romantic friendship *Sexual abstinence *Spiritual marriage lovefriendship
Hmm... I'm thinking that we're ignoring an aspect here. After all, for a few centuries it was thought that spouses should have a strong Platonic relationship. Certainly they HAD sex. As I recall, the point of Platonic love was that it wasn't ''about'' sex, unlike Erotic love.
